The London News View OF Mr.. BeecheI

LcsDos, March 8.-The Daily News,
commenting upon the death of Mr.
Beecher, says: "He leaves no system,
either of theology or Of church govern

for Americans the greatest exposition of
his time. He was a great preacher, but
nothing but preacher"

DEATH OF MR.. BEECHER

DR.. Searles Statement in Regard TO the
Distinguished Mans Last Hours.
The Funeral TO Take Place Thursda,
NeNt-Details of the Arrangements.
MR.. BEECHER
The Noted Divine Passes AWAY

NKw YoRK, March S.-The Rev. Henry
Ward Bseoher died at $50 o'clock this
morning in the presence of most of the
members of his family. DR.. Searle
makes the following verbal statement in
regard to the distinguished divine's last
hours: Mr.. Beecher began to fail de-
cidedly at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing and his respiration was rapid.
AT 1 o'clock the family was sum
moned. Death came slowly and
stealthily, the respirat;ons graduallv
became faster and tsster until they reach
ed sixty minute, one each second. His
pulse was variable and often resched 40
He still remained in the same condition
except in breathing with hi, eyes closed
ana entirely unconscious. The motion of
his right arm became less frequent and
nnally stopped almost entirely. About
O'Clock in the morning we could
detect the first symptoms of immediate
death. His pulse ran up still higher.
fiickered and fluctuated until OPS, two
minutes before his death, his pulse
ceased almost entirely. At the wrist it
was so faint that it could hardly be de
tected, and then stopped altogether.
There was rattling in the throat pain
him, owing to the failure of the nerve
centre of the respiratory organs, together
with the failure OF the hearts action.
His death, which came at $50, was very
easy; as painless if not "a pleasant as
death from sutfocation or 10y drowning, is
said to be. IN the sitting room i'll the
back of ths house, where the great
preacher spent many of tho hours of his
life, Major Pond this morning was busily
engaged In answering the many tele-
grams that were received by Mrs. Beecher.
A large number of people called at the
house during the evening and left their
cards, with kind words of coincidence. A
crowd of people still hovered around the
house and gazed in silence at the windows
of the room where the body of Mr. Beecher
law.
The pail bearers have not yet been
selected. The will, will not be made
public until after the funeral. The
family were gathered in the front parlor
tonight and received their friends until
O'Clock when the house was closed for
the night. Mrs. Beecher bears up won
derfully under her heavy affection. She
is quite calm and composed. The funer-
al W II take place in Greenwood on Thurs
day next.

Two interesting reports of Legislative

is the report of the New York Assembly,
which has been investigating the recent
mittees devote some space to a considera-
tion of the rights and the limits of action
of organized labor, and both agree in
taking sound view of the matter. Their
conclusion is in effect that, while the
right of a man or of bodies of men TO re
fuse TO labor for what they regard as un-
just remuneration Is unquestionabie, the
right of employers to determine what
wages they shall pay is equally unques-
tionable, rs is the right of workmen who
desire to keep aloof from labor associa.

break of conflict to renew i'll earpest
its designs upon Bulgaria. Some time
ago the statement was made in the Rus
